Hi,
I am putting a HS50 back together but I have NOT been into the crank case. I have put an intake assembly, throttle assembly, muffler and gas tank back onto it.
With the help of Fantic Freddie We started this motor on the ground. 3 pulls and she fired right up, no smoke! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
The problem is this governor will not let this engine idle down. It stays at full throttle and will not move from there. I have adjusted the Governor arm through the complete range and nothing. I can push the governor arm to idle and that works but the second I let it go, back to full throttle.
I did NOT adjust the part that clamps to the internal shaft. That I left alone. The shaft has flat spots to hold with pliers to adjust that part on it. Those flats are what I call vertical as on my other tecumseh engines.
This is a pretty bad explanation I am sure but any help would be appreciated. I have adjusted it to the manuals directions several times and nothing.
Thanks
Doc
